Competition Winners

We are also proud to announce that Aye Mind won the Adaptive Lab gif making competition! The submitted gifs are co-designed with young people at a workshop, with participants from YSortIt, See Me and GAMH.

The gif that caught Adaptive Lab’s eye was created by Caitlin, who used ‘heart attack’ as a metaphor. After her mum suffered a heart attack, Caitlin found this term triggering. The workshop allowed her to take control of the phrase and at the end of the workshop, she felt more comfortable with the language around heart attacks. We loved the workshops with young people and you can read more about our process and materials used here.

Safer Internet Day

Recently, we celebrated Safer Internet Day with gifs that used messages from young people #shareaheart. Some of our Snooks wrote down their message which included ‘I love the internet for helping me connect with my friends and family around the world! Be nice and stay safe’ and ‘I love how the internet makes knowledge and information accessible to everyone. But let’s make sure we keep it that way’.
